Jesus Stills the Storm at Galilee (Mark 435-41
Matt 818, 23-27 Luke 822-25)

• Mark 435 - 41
• 35 And the same day, when the even was come,
  he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the
  other side. 36 And when they had sent away the
  multitude, they took him even as he was in the
  ship. And there were also with him other little
  ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of
  wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that
  it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder
  part of the ship, asleep on a pillow and they
  awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou
  not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and
  rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace,
  be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a
  great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are
  ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
  41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to
  another, What manner of man is this, that even
  the wind and the sea obey him?
• The peril of the situation
• Mark 437 great storm of wind, and the waves

• Matt 824 great tempest in the sea, insomuch
  that the ship was covered with the waves

• A true assessment of their situation was that
  peace and safety was ahead, but their level of
  faith could not see through the storm.
• Dont lose heart in the storm (Luke 181). God
  is not far from every one of us (Acts 1727)
  also. Though the Lord will only help us
  according to his will (I John 514-15),
  regardless, all things will still work for good
  to those who are called (Romans 828, 35-39).

Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac (Mark 51-20
Matt 828-34 Luke 826-39)

• Mark 51-20
• 1 And they came over unto the other side of
  the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2
  And when he was come out of the ship, immediately
  there met him out of the tombs a man with an
  unclean spirit, 3 Who had his dwelling among
  the tombs and no man could bind him, no, not
  with chains 4 Because that he had been often
  bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had
  been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters
  broken in pieces neither could any man tame him.
  5 And always, night and day, he was in the
  mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting
  himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus
  afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7 And
  cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to
  do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high
  God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me
  not. 8 For he said unto him, Come out of the
  man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him,
  What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My
  name is Legion for we are many. 10 And he
  besought him much that he would not send them
  away out of the country.

Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac (Mark 51-20
Matt 828-34 Luke 826-39)

• 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a
  great herd of swine feeding. 12 And all the
  devils besought him, saying, Send us into the
  swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And
  forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean
  spirits went out, and entered into the swine and
  the herd ran violently down a steep place into
  the sea, (they were about two thousand) and were
  choked in the sea. 14 And they that fed the
  swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the
  country. And they went out to see what it was
  that was done. 15 And they come to Jesus, and
  see him that was possessed with the devil, and
  had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his
  right mind and they were afraid. 16 And they
  that saw it told them how it befell to him that
  was possessed with the devil, and also concerning
  the swine. 17 And they began to pray him to
  depart out of their coasts. 18 And when he was
  come into the ship, he that had been possessed
  with the devil prayed him that he might be with
  him. 19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but
  saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell
  them how great things the Lord hath done for
  thee, and hath had compassion on thee. 20 And
  he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis
  how great things Jesus had done for him and all
  men did marvel.

Healing Jairus Daughter and the Woman With an
Issue of Blood (Mark 521-43 Matt 918-26 Luke
840-56)

• 21 And when Jesus was passed over again by
  ship unto the other side, much people gathered
  unto him and he was nigh unto the sea. 22 And,
  behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the
  synagogue, Jairus by name and when he saw him,
  he fell at his feet, 23 And besought him
  greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the
  point of death I pray thee, come and lay thy
  hands on her, that she may be healed and she
  shall live. 24 And Jesus went with him and
  much people followed him, and thronged him. 25
  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood
  twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things
  of many physicians, and had spent all that she
  had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew
  worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in
  the press behind, and touched his garment. 28
  For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I
  shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain
  of her blood was dried up and she felt in her
  body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And
  Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue
  had gone out of him, turned him about in the
  press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And
  his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the
  multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who
  touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see
  her that had done this thing.

  fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in
  her, came and fell down before him, and told him
  all the truth. 34 And he said unto her,
  Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole go in
  peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Healing Jairus Daughter and the Woman With an
Issue of Blood (Mark 521-43 Matt 918-26 Luke
840-56)

• 35 While he yet spake, there came from the
  ruler of the synagogues house certain which
  said, Thy daughter is dead why troublest thou
  the Master any further? 36 As soon as Jesus
  heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the
  ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only
  believe. 37 And he suffered no man to follow
  him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother
  of James. 38 And he cometh to the house of the
  ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and
  them that wept and wailed greatly. 39 And when
  he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye
  this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but
  sleepeth. 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But
  when he had put them all out, he taketh the
  father and the mother of the damsel, and them
  that were with him, and entereth in where the
  damsel was lying. 41 And he took the damsel by
  the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi which
  is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee,
  arise. 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and
  walked for she was of the age of twelve years.
  And they were astonished with a great
  astonishment. 43 And he charged them straitly
  that no man should know it and commanded that
  something should be given her to eat.

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men and a Mute Demoniac
(Matt 927-34)

• 27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind
  men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of
  David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was
  come into the house, the blind men came to him
  and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am
  able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
  29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According
  to your faith be it unto you. 30 And their eyes
  were opened and Jesus straitly charged them,
  saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they,
  when they were departed, spread abroad his fame
  in all that country. 32 As they went out,
  behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed
  with a devil. 33 And when the devil was cast
  out, the dumb spake and the multitudes
  marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in
  Israel. 34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth
  out devils through the prince of the devils.
